anyway Wilson is right about Nolan’s total and weird lack of interest in labour (here, the building of the Trojan horse). we watched Oppenheimer & the dark knight trilogy last week and I had the same reaction substack.com/@hazyshade/n...

Grateful for this review in the Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies!: ‘This book is a call to action, a reminder that current archival practice has just as much of an ‘active effect in guiding how we respond to and categorise objects’ as Sloane himself once did’ doi.org/10.1111/1754...

“This monograph combines a close, detailed attention to a specific collection and a broader theoretical contemplation of the nature of collections and libraries themselves, appealing both to Sloane scholars specifically, and all those interested in the history of books, museums and libraries.“ 😎

IYKYK, nineteenth-century style. Congrats, @shsalter.bsky.social on EDITORIAL MASCULINITY AND THE SEX WORK OF PRINT! www.cambridge.org/core/element...

NYRB should do their own version of the Criterion Closet for their book publishing arm imo

I thought it was really good & also found it immensely frustrating for all the things it isn’t… on this review, I do think it’s weird (ha) that people often put him in conversation with Miéville, who can’t resist a really good plot, without troubling that. Gene Wolfe seems the better comparison.

genuinely! how hard is it to at the very least buy a couple of bottles of shloer!

Thank you, this is helpful! I think Obsidian is probably great if you spend the time learning how to use it properly and implementing a strong system, but alas... I am not that person

Also here’s a photo from Hanif Abdurraqib’s reading at the New York Poetry Festival yesterday where you can see me, absolutely entranced

What do you all use for your notes? I've been using Evernote since 2014 but it's almost doubling in price so. Is Obsidian the best alternative? bonus points for something I could move my Evernote files to without too much agony.

I was drawing quite heavily on my A level physics to follow who everyone was!

I mean the characterisation of women was… Not a strong point, so I imagine it felt like a very welcome counterweight lol

Watched Oppenheimer last night. Excited to be on trend and participate in the discourse
